Santa Barbara Discussion Thread

Sorry, amybrickwallace, but I'd rather not see Eden/Marcy in a wheelchair.  You have to excuse me.  Eden was so upset that she was paralyzed and couldn't walk.  She had partially regained her ability to walk in Utah only to lose the use of her legs all over again shortly after returning to Santa Barbara.  It doesn't help matters that violence on Elena Nikolas's part led to Eden's paralysis.

Well, Soaplovers, Eden's paralysis went on for so long.  She partially regained her ability to walk in Utah only to lose the use of her legs all over again shortly after returning to Santa Barbara.  To make things more upsetting, Eden's paralysis was the result of violence on Elena Nikolas's part, plus Cain Garver did terrible things to Eden in Utah.

Here's a recent interview with Robin Wright, and SB comes up. You can imagine her reaction. I wish Julianne Moore would give her a serious talking-to.

I doubt Julianne Moore's example would change Wright's POV. Maybe it had to do with the show extending her contract when she took a hiatus to film The Princess Bride or maybe she just connects it to her failed relationship with Dane Witherspoon.

 

But whatever the reason, her attitude seems pretty ingrained by now. It is what it is.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
